Promising Results for Climate-Smart Agriculture Project in Rusizi District, Rwanda
- Details
The Climate-Smart Agriculture project in Rusizi district, funded by the United Evangelical Mission (UEM), is an ambitious project that aims to help Rwandans mitigate the impacts of climate change and increase farmers' production. Developed and implemented by the RDIS organization together with two dioceses of the Anglican church of Rwanda, Shyogwe and Cyangugu, the project's first phase is being implemented in EAR Cyangugu diocese in Rusizi district.
The project aims to address the adverse effects of climate change, such as land degradation, deforestation, lower food production, and unemployment, while complementing the nation's efforts in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Rwanda.
Since the project's launch in April 2022, several activities have been carried out to achieve the objectives of this project at Murangi Farm in Rusizi district:

RDIS scales up its project for distribution of Improved Cook Stoves in Rwanda!
- Details
RDIS organization is proud to present its newest partnership with CANOPY ENERGIES SAS for its scale-up project for distribution of cookstoves in Rwanda.
Together with CANOPY ENERGIES SAS, which pledges to fight global warming by focusing on producing clean energy and reducing carbon emissions, we plan to distribute 50,000 Improved Cook Stoves to all eligible households in the Rusizi district in Western Rwanda over the next 2 years.
Providing households with improved cook stoves reduces the wood consumption by a factor 2.5, and thus limits the emissions of greenhouse gases due to cooking. This project alone should prevent the emission of 700,000 tCO2eq over the next 7 years. Clean cooking solutions also significantly reduce the smoke in households, improving health conditions.
